Foam Mesh Cap

ABSTRACT

The invention is related to a kind of foam mesh cap. The foam mesh cap has a foam layer that is composed of two pieces of cloth at outer sides and a piece of foam in the middle. Outside the foam layer there is an exterior fabric layer. The three parts are sewed together to form a pad. The two sides of the pad and multiple mesh sheets are sewed to form a cap body. The cap body is then sewed to a cap peak to make the foam mesh cap. As a result, the thick and firm pad can provide instant shape recovery and increase product durability by preventing water from getting into inner layer.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The invention is related to a kind of foam mesh cap, especially one thatcan increase durability and have shape stability by elastic recovery.

2. Description of the Prior Art

Cap is a very common thing to wear in daily life. Its basic requirementis to fit with the user's head. Therefore a traditional mesh cap ismainly formed by sewing the front edge of cap body to a cap peak. A hardpiece is sewed inside the cap peak. A pad in the front of the cap bodyconnects to the cap peak. Multiple mesh sheets are sawed to the twosides of the pad.

By the above design, the pad and the multiple mesh sheets after sewingform a concave cap body to fit with the user's head. However, after theinventor has studied the market and made further analysis, it is foundthat the above traditional mesh cap usually only uses an exterior fabriclayer and a thin foam layer when cost is considered. The thin foam layerafter a long time of use will sink and be very difficult to recover. Asa result, the foam layer could be damaged or rupture. The product lifeis only about one year. Thus, such mesh cap structure needs furtherimprovement.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Knowing the drawbacks with the traditional mesh cap, the inventor hasdedicated to its improvement and finally invented a new kind of foammesh cap to have a desirable mesh cap structure.

Thus, the objective for the invention is to provide a foam mesh cap thata supporting piece in the bottom of the pad can provide sufficientelastic recovery back to the original shape and air-permeation andsweat-repellency, and attain product durability.

To achieve the above objective, a new kind of foam mesh cap is made bysewing an exterior fabric layer, a foam layer and a supporting piece.

In realization of the invention, first, a thick and firm foam layer isformed by combining a supporting piece that has elastic structure withmultiple meshes and a piece of foam that is within two pieces of cloth,and then an exterior fabric layer is sewed to the foam layer to form apad.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

The following provides detailed description for the invention withfigures and embodiments.

As shown in FIG. 1, the complete assembly of the invention is dividedtwo major parts: cap peak (1) and cap body (2).

As shown in FIG. 2, the supporting piece and the foam layer overlap inthe pad. The supporting piece (213) is woven into net structure withmultiple meshes (A) that provides the cap with strength for wrinkleresistance.

As shown in FIG. 3, the enlarged localized view for the supporting pieceand the foam layer of the pad mainly comprises: a cap peak (1) and a capbody (2) that is sewed to the back of the cap peak (1). The cap body (2)has a pad (21) to support the shape and provide aesthetics anddurability and at least a permeable mesh sheet (22) that is sewed toboth sides of the large area pad (21). Other mesh sheets (22) can besewed to different area to form the cap shape that can fit with theuser's head.

The previously mentioned pad (21) is made by first overlapping anexterior fabric layer (211), a foam layer (212) and a supporting piece(213) and then sewing them together. The supporting piece (213) withmultiple meshes (A) forms a large area net structure that effectivelyprovides the pad (21) with elastic recovery strength to prevent wrinklesand maintain the original cap shape and aesthetics. The mesh (A) alsohas air permeability and odor repellency. In this embodiment, thesupporting piece (213) is a poly nylon pad, but not limited to it.

The previously mentioned foam layer (212) further has a piece of foam(B) and two pieces of cloth (C). The two pieces of cloth (C) are placedin the top and in the bottom, while the foam (B) is placed in themiddle. A process will bond the three pieces together to providebuffering elasticity and comfort.

Please refer to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 for the above-mentioned structure. Theexterior fabric layer (211) in the invention is in the top, and the foamlayer (212) is in the middle, while the supporting piece (213) is in thebottom. The three layers first overlap and then are sewed to the abovementioned mesh sheet (22) to produce a cap body (2). The cap body (2) isthen sewed to a cap peak (1) to produce a foam mesh cap.

In summary, the product compared to the traditional mesh cap has thickerpad to instantly recover the shape and provide product durability bypreventing moisture permeation. These benefits with the product have notbeen found in publications or other products. The product shall beconsidered an excellent innovation and meet the requirements for patentapplication, which is thereafter submitted accordingly.
